I placed my kenzan (metal pin bed) just to the left of center of this little cinnabar vase. I wanted to work with a creeping vine. At first, I believed it would be a cascading arrangement. But after I cut the vine with my warabi-te scissors and saw the stem-cut, I realized that this would make a lovely, upright arrangement. I loved the shapes of the leaves and the positioning of the flower and buds. I only removed a few leaves near the base to reveal the true silhouette of the vine. One of my dolls from the Edo period just happened to be on top of my chibi-tansu which proved to be the perfect location for this ikebana in moribana style.
